Passive aggression

Tokens dropped by elite enemies and at the end of dungeons can be used to upgrade individual abilities – reducing the cooldown on the Ranger’s dodge, for example, or letting you regain more mana from your quick attack. The money you earn, meanwhile, can be spent on a wide range new abilities and passives. One can make the magician’s rabbits (or tigers) explode when their health is low, damaging nearby enemies; in another slot, you might plug in an ability that gives you an attack boost for killing familiars. “You’re constantly unlocking new abilities on all your forms and buying new ones,” Smith says, “and that gets you thinking about all these cool synergies that you can pull in to make your characters more and more powerful.”
